3 day weekend coming to a close
May 28th
Well, today’s the last day of my 3-day weekend… And yes I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I now also realise I’ll have to kick it in high-gear this week. Both at work, as well as at home in order to get everything packed and ready to go.
Fortunately, I think I have arranged most of the things that needed to get sorted out. And that which I can’t or have forgotten can be done in the 2 weeks off following.
It almost feels like a new chapter in my life. And I guess it is… No, it definately is. A new place, a new environment. Not that I have had a bad time here, but I have had some experiences here that I want to close. I also should close the chapter on a few other things.
But let’s not rush into new things too fast. That’s something I learnt ;) We will see how it goes. But I feel confident and strong about it.
Guess I am off to enjoy the remainder of my weekend :mrgreen: So should you! Laters!
Thoughts on a warm Friday-afternoon
May 25th
It’s been a while since I made a post here, and well even before that last post … In short I haven’t been too active on my site. In my defense; I have been busy with arranging everything for my move to Almere. I am really looking forward to it.
I don’t know whether it’s due to the move, or due to the fact that a lot of things are now coming to an end but I feel better. A lot better.
At work we are also steadily progressing forward. New things to play with and figure out… :mrgreen:
Anyways, just thought I’d pop my head round the corner here for a second… so laters!
Mother’s day
May 13th
Happy Mother’s day to all!
Sorry for the lack of updates but I must admit that I had been preoccupied in the personal sense. Hence. Anyway, I have started arranging / planning my move towards Almere. I have decided to get rid of a lot of things that I dragged along with me the last time. Nothing major, but it’s good way to also clean up a lot of other mess.
I also finally yielded and bought myself an umbrella…. And boy is it bad. Clear see-through plastic :) Now imagine a guy wearing all black with that… yes, the other people smirked as well.
Laundry-day again. Did a batch again and some general cleaning as well. Amazing how good you tend to feel after doing that. Over the next few days I plan to do some more cleaning – especially in regards towards moving out. I also updated the cleaning schedule for the house, which now of course excludes me. Which will go in effect after I move out ;)
Other then that I haven’t got much to say on a personal note at this time…. Maybe later.
I have however found a few interesting things along the way on the web. First of which is a Dreamscene for Windows Vista Ultimate – created by the same folks of SilverLight. You can get a copy of the Vista Silverlight Dreamscene by visiting the site. In case you are wondering what SilverLight is; it’s a new format developped by Microsoft. Read more at http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight
I have also found the photographer that made 2 of the photo’s that are used as backgrounds in Windows Vista. He has compiled a few of them togeter (along with the 2 that ARE in Windows) and offered them as a download. Download the Windows Vista Wallpaper Pack now! You know you want it… :)
Last, but definately not least is Start++. It expands the Windows Vista Search capabilities, so that you may use Wikipedia, Google etc. Similar to the Windows Search Deskbar functionality in Windows XP it allows you to define aliases / shortcuts to your favorite tools, sites and programs. Check it out!
Moving up and out, about…
May 7th
I can announce with ‘some’ joy that I will be moving in the near future to a new room in Almere… It’s going to be a bigger room then the one I am currently living in, and well – it’s just a lot better. I hope/think that there I will get some rest and that sensation of coming home which I am missing here.
In other news; my knee is starting to work as it should again after I had a little mishap last week (ED: I bumped my knee at a TV that was parked on the floor in the dark…) I must admit that I had been limping around like Herr Flick from the TV sitcom Allo Allo. Which I think was strengthened by the fact I was wearing black clothing ;)
Asides that, I also have made a few personal decisions to get things back on track for myself – since I was way to preoccupied with others rather then myself. Nothing major on the outside, big changes on the inside.
I can also admit that I have yet to make it through a single day without changing the bracelet :) But I do think that it’s starting to work – as I think about my comments / thoughts faster in another way. It might just work…
At work things are going OK, keeping busy as always… Servers keeping me busy :)
So all in all, I can say that things are looking up – be it minor in one are or another. I am however very thrilled about my new place. I really look forward to moving into it…
